Another competitive auction, won by North-South due to the vulnerability — it was too dangerous for East-West to bid on.

The heart lead was obviously from shortness. There was a loser in each suit, but dummy's diamonds offered the potential to develop an extra trick for a discard. South won the opening lead in hand with the ace and led a low diamond, ducked by West and won with dummy's queen. Had South played a trump at this point, West would have grabbed his ace and led another heart. That would establish a heart trick for the defense, which East would cash when he obtained the lead with a club.

Seeing this danger, declarer made the excellent play of exiting dummy with a club at trick three. This forced East to use his entry before it could do him any good. East played his queen of hearts, setting up his jack, but he had no entry to cash it. South won dummy's king and finally led a trump. West won the ace and tried another club, but declarer ruffed, drew the last trump, and led another diamond. West won his ace, but there was no way for the defense to get a heart trick. The nine of trumps remained in dummy as an entry to the established diamond, and South had a parking place for his heart loser. Well played!
